Upgraded Core Guide

* Low Core: Low cores are used for increasing stats on low grade equipment. They cannot be used on Titanium grade equipment or above, so if you want to practice using a core than practice with this one. Un-equip the item you are upgrading, right click on the Low Core and then left click on the item, if it's successful then your item will be +1. (Assuming it was 0) * Medium Core: Medium cores are used for increasing stats on Titanium or lower graded equipment and are used in the same manner as a Low Core. * Upgrade Core High: High cores are used for increasing stats on the high grade equipment and shouldn't be used on low grade weapon or armour. Osmium, Shadow titanium etc, are what you need to be saving and using High Cores on, anything else is a waste. Just like Low and Medium Cores, right click to use. * Upgrade Core Highest: The rarest of the cores, white in appearance, and the only core that can be used to upgrade Mithril grade equipment.

* Force Core: Unlike the other cores you can only use Force Cores on items which have a slot and you can see the chance of success on a Force Core transmute. In addition, Force Cores can have two types of enchantments, level 1 enchantments and level 2 enchantments. A level 1 enchantment requires a catalyst which signifies the type of enchantment that will be given to your gear. A level 2 enchantment is more powerful then a level 1 enchantment but it is random and because it is random it does not require a catalyst but instead it requires two Force Cores instead of one. Keep in mind that you can't use Force Cores just anywhere, you have to go to a 'Core Alchemist' to use them.

Level 2 Force Core Attributes

Level 2 force core attributes are random, no catalyst is required. However, a catalyst may be used to increase the chance of the Force Core Upgrade succeeding. In addition, if the level 2 force upgrade is not successful the item may take on a level 1 force core upgrade attribute at random, if no catalyst is present.Level 2 EnhancementsEffect Sword (any) Crystal/Orb Gloves Boots Helm SuitCritical Rate Increase +5% Yes Yes No No Yes NoMinimal Damage +1 Yes Yes No No No NoHP Steal 2% Yes No No No No YesMP Steal 2% Yes No No No No YesMax Critical Rate +2% No No Yes No No YesSword Skill Amp +7% Drop Drop Drop Drop Drop DropMagic Skill Amp +7% Drop Drop Drop Drop Drop DropFlee Rate +?
